ent of Motive Power, Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, has recently
been turned out of the Mt. Clare shops
at Baltimore and placed in service.
The performance of the new engine
have fully met the expectations of her
designer and he has been the recipient
of many congratulations from the
officials of the traffic and transporta-

consisting of three sleeping cars, three
coaches, two baggage cars, one express
car and one postal car, from Baltimore
to Martinsburg In two hours and fifty

A Puned-up Political Bunrros.
From Emp0ria, Kan as, DsmOcrli.l


If there be q more arrogant, conse-
queRtial. and self conscious politician
in these United States than ]. B. Fora
ker, Of Ohio. we can't call him to mind
just now. When asked few days ago
IL the result of the election In Ohio
would make necessary the naming of
the Republican candidate for the Presi-
depcy from that State, he answered
promptly "I have no doubt of it.n He
was then asked who would receive the
support of the Ohio delegation in the
convention, and replied that he had
mo idea,n saying, "of course we have
endorsed Senator Sherman, but proba-
bly, the best index is yesterdays re-
sult.n Paraphrased, this means that
although the State Republican conven-
tion Of Ohio some time ago adopted
unanimously resolution endorsing
Senator Sherman as that States choice
for the Presidency, yet '.I, J. B. Fora
ker, now consider myselfa bigger man,
and q far more important factor in
national politics than John Sherman,
and il Ohio is to have favorite son his
name is ]. B. Foraker and not John
Sherman. Briefly, my name is Eli, his
name is Dennis." This upstart poll
tician has the hardihood to claim as
much recognition at the hands of his
party as Sherman, who, whatever his
faults may be-and he has his share oil
them has been tower of strength in
his party for almost a generation, hav-
ing done more for it than all the Fora
kers, from the first of that name TO him
1nf II
old Grant" This puffed up bullfrog
cuts a pretty figure posing in the pres
ence Of the whole people with belly
full of wind, croaking for recognition,
and reward proportioned to his inflated
ideas of his own Importance. Instead
of comparing himself with Sherman,
and posing as statesman, he ought to
get on his knees and thank Providence
that it sent jeff Davis and Jackass
jackson to Macon just in time to dc
the most effective work possible, to
save his bacon in Ohio, and to pray
that they may be spared to green old
age. Indeed, visit to them in person
to thank them for their timely and
powerful aid would be far more becom.
ing than the presumptious airs he is
now giving himself as popular hero
To his sagacious and penetrating mind
the late election in this State was in,

preference off. B. Foraker over JohT
Sherman for the Presidency, than tt
elect him to the Governorship of th,
State. The latter was only an inciden
to the former and meant just to give i
emphasis. 1t means that a mistake

B. Hayes as a Presidential dark horse?n
The Republican issue enunciated by
Mr.. Sherman, IA fair count of the vote

NEW York, November 25. The firm
of II. w. Cameron, & Co., ofthis city,
who are agents for the Government Of
New South Wales, are in receipt of com
munications offering reward by the
Government of $125,000 to American
inventors for any process which will
exterminate rabbits, which have be-
come pest throughout Australia and
New Zealand. In 1864 few English
rabbits were introduced into the Botan-
nical Garden at Dunedin. These have
increased to such an extent that they
are now public nuisances, threatening
to destroy not only all the vegetables
but even the sheep pasturage ofthe en-
tire country. The magnitude of the
evil and the urgency of the case are
indicated by the extent of the reward,
which is at the same time an expression
ofconfidence in American ingenuity.

Holiday Greetingl


Messrs. Saur u Balsley, are
fully conversant with the fact
that all farm products are ex-
tremely low in price this fall,
and knowing this they propose
to benefit by that knowledge,
and have brought their goods
down to a level with the price
Of farm products. During the
past year both farmer and mer-
chant have been working more
or less for GLORY but their
new and elegant stock OF goods
now enable them to offer better
prices than ever before. In fact
they have knocked down prices
which has completely broken
the back bone of trade in articles
found at their immense store.
The great reductions made are
remarkable, and especially so
in goods suitable for holiday
gifts. Their business experience
for the last thirty years has
taught thisshOuse that it pays
to be truthful, and it has be-
come proverbial that when they
represent their goods to be so
and so, you may stake your
bottom dollar that it is just as
represented. Now, that the
season for holiday gifts is at
hand, Messrs. Saur & Balsley
have opened out, and are con-
tinually adding thereto daily,
a large and varied stock to Sc
lact from. What is more ap-
propriate as a gift than a book?
Let it be a volume Of poetry,
fiction or history, or family
bible or hymn book. They
have books Of all varieties and
prices. Also fine selection
Of Photograph Albums, fancy
stationery, toilet articles, per-
furne cases, and a thousand and
one things to gladden. the hearts
Of all humanity, whether old
middle aged, or young. Ar
elegant stock of toy and juve
nile books. just the thing te
please and amuse the little folks
A fine line Of lamps, gold penI
and holders, all Of them fit ar
ticles to be used as gifts. Th,

house is more complete thar
ever, and a most appropriate
gift for the holidays would b
